People were learning how to solder and I assume put together a circuit board? I didn't get to ask questions, but it looked like fun.

The goal with Music Growth Hacking is to measure what works best, so that you can focus on that and move on to the next experiment.

Note the connections like the resistor leads are mechanicaly sound (ie wrapped around the tags) then soldered.
Quality.
I picked this guy up at a garage sale for $1.00 and decided to finally bring him back to life; here I've hooked him up to an older ATX computer power supply to supply the ~5V, instead of wasting 4x 1.5V AA batteries. I also have an iDog in many pieces (somewhere on my desk) awaiting this hack.
When I connected his positive lead with the alligator clip it gave a little spark and a quick jolt to life! (dirty connection)
Note: using these 20 (or 24) pin ATX power supplies, you have to ground the green wire to switch-on the internal relay and complete the circuit. Thus, the fan kicks on, and all the leads supply power to the hard drives, etc. I didn't have an AT power supply on hand with the simpler on/off switch. In storage I have a few, however.
The Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker is a former government-owned nuclear bunker located at Hack Green, Cheshire, England.
The first military use of the area was in World War II, when a Starfish site was established at Hack Green. Its purpose was to confuse Luftwaffe bombers looking for the vital railway junction at Crewe.
A Ground-controlled interception (GCI) radar station was added.
In the 1950s, the site was modernised as part of the ROTOR project. This included the provision of a substantial semi-sunk reinforced concrete bunker or blockhouse (type R6).
The station, officially designated RAF Hack Green, was also known as Mersey Radar. It provided an air traffic control service to military aircraft crossing civil airspace.
The site was abandoned and remained derelict for many years, until the Home Office took it over. They rebuilt the R6 bunker as a Regional Government Headquarters (RGHQs) - one of a network of 17 such sites throughout the UK - designed to enable government to continue in the aftermath of a major nuclear attack on the UK.
In about 1992, following the end of the Cold War, the Home Office abandoned its network of RGHQs and sold many of the sites. This one was bought by a private company and subsequently opened to the public in 1998 as a museum with a Cold War theme.
The bunker is open to the public most of the year. It has a substantial collection of military and Cold War memorabilia, including one of the largest collections of decommissioned nuclear weapons in the world. It also houses Ballistic Missile Early Warning System equipment originally from RAF High Wycombe.
The museum includes information about the function of the bunker during the Cold War. There is a simulator designed to simulate conditions in the bunker during a nuclear attack.
If all of the missiles at Hack Green were armed, the base alone would be the 7th biggest Nuclear Power in the world.
I hacked the greeting card and soldered an old doorbell button in place to activate it. DO NOT WEAR AT LOGAN AIRPORT!

Hacking Arts (October 3-5), an annual student-run festival and hackathon hosted at the MIT Media Lab, marked the launch of MIT STARTUP. Hacking Arts features talks by entrepreneurs in the creative industries, tech-enabled live performances and art pieces, and demos by emergent start-ups. This year’s kick-off party at Microsoft’s Nerd Center featured a performance by Grammy-nominated artist Ryan Leslie and an ideation session by Kiran Gandhi, the drummer of MIA.
The following day, participants attended panels on Film, Music, Design, Virtual Reality, Fashion, Gaming, Performing Arts and Visual Arts, hearing from speakers such as Benji Rogers (CEO, Pledgemusic), Kevin Cunningham (Executive Artistic Director, 3-Legged Dog Productions) and Laird Malamed (COO, Oculus VR). Afterward, participants put their ideas into action during the high-voltage hackathon.
The 2014 Hackathon winners were LuxLoop (VHX Prize in Film, TV & VR), Harlequin (Most Creative), CUE (Most Disruptive) and Tomorrow Is Another Day (Best Overall Hack). A common thread among the winning hacks was how technology was used to promote human interaction or create analogue output. LuxLoop and Harlequin both used human motion to affect digital output. CUE, one of the finalists in the Pitch phase of the competition, designed a modular theatrical system consisting of wearable audiovisual hardware and a smartphone app to sequence, control and play user-programmed sound and light effects to enhance public theater. Tomorrow Is Another Day touted the idea “Turn your nothing into something,” as their project used a person’s daily “swipes” on touch-screen devices to transform daily online activities into abstract ink drawings.
